Bar Chart is a graphical display good for the general audience. Here, we study the distribution of Age Group of the compnay’s customers who purchased their products on Black Friday. Usage:barplot(height, …)

A bar chart can be horizontal or vertical. Using the argument col, we can assign a color for bars. The argument main could be used to change the title of the figure. We can use RGB color code to assign colors.

Note: The margin of a figure could be set using the c(bottom, left, top, right).

Distribution of City Category

Histogram is used when we want to study the distribution of a qunatitative variable. Here we study the distribution of customer purchase amount.

Usage: hist(x, …)

Analysis

Analysis of Boxplot 1

Analysis of Boxplot 2

When we wanta to study the relationship of two quantitative variables, a scatterplot can be used. since this data set doesn’t have another quantitative variable, we will use the built-in data mtcars in R. Then we study the relationship of miles per gallon against the weight of vehicles.
